SOLD pending pickup.

Gold coast, PM me for details.

Hi Guys, I tried to flog this off on Gumtree free and got burnt by the experience. Turns out when something is free people repay you by dicking you around and abusing you. So, before I deal with that again, I'm listing it here for a brewing brother (or sister). The Story. This was my old...

That's essentially my hoppy ale template. For normal ales I might drop the sulphate to match the chloride. Usually for lagers/cream ales I'll shoot for 50-60ppm of calcium from Calcium Cholride and nothing more. Lactic to 5.4pH. The ezy water spreadsheet (I think that's what it's called!?)...

I'm not bashing you personally, I'm sure you're a great guy and I'd love to offer you a beer and have a chat. But your opinions are rubbish. I'm saying Vietnam will suffer if they enter into free and fair trade. It's beneficial for Australians, no doubt, and will create more wealth for...

dibbz, If you read my post I'm doing well and I have no hate and envy for the hyper successful. Also I'm in agreeance with Ben Shapiro with 90% of the stuff he talks about, especially freedom of speech and SJW stuff. Not the economy or the environment however. In fact for those issues I side...

I'll have a crack. Cause of Neoliberal western governments (In Australia, Labor introduced it and the coalition supercharged it) and ironically, the subsequent weakening of the unions. Stuff is so expensive because since the above, peoples wages have been stagnant and people are getting paid...

Vape on brothers! I'm a non-smoker and think it's criminal how they treat smokers, especially when there are so many people giving themselves diabeetus by eating like a 5 year old in an adults body yet there is no tax on that. Also infuriating is the health minister totally discarding vaping...

Your entitled to your opinion but if it came to a vote, would you vote against it and keep thousands in a state of needless, expensive suffering against their own will?

We have done what the yanks have done. We've been a country of bi-partisian neoliberals for nearly as long as them. The only difference is the US had a massive manufacturing base that was so big due to them coming out of WW2 relatively unscathed. Now it's gone and regardless of what any...

Don't waste your money. It's actually quite easy to make good beer, not that much harder to make great beer. Spend your money so you can follow this ----> https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/move-to-all-grain-for-thirty-bucks.38674/ or something similar. Do it over and over until it makes...

Slightly OT. Having sampled the Smurto Chinook for the last 2 years, it's not bad but it's not Galaxy, Citra, Mosaic or Amarillo. I continue to grow it just cause it grows by itself so very easily. I'm a tightarse but not the point where I won't pay a few bucks for hops that I prefer. My...

But i wouldn't use water that you don't know how hard it is and then once you've confirmed that its devoid of minerals, i wouldn't use it without adjustment. Once again, I'm not ordering you to do it. It just depends on the quality of beer you want to produce.

I used to use RO water. I now use rain water as I moved to a place with a tank and RO takes ages to produce. They're both super soft(I measured) near 0ppm, so i treat them the same. I highly recommend you learn basic water chemistry. It's very easy and it will improve your beer. As a minimum...

Also i ferment at the top of the manufacturers ideal range except at ~10-15 psi. I don't see the logic in potentially negatively affecting the flavour of the beer to "save time". I'm in no rush, the beers ready when it's ready, not according to a set time.

Can confirm that dry hopping with loose pellets will cause a blockage. I had to use my auto siphon for that batch. My workaround is to put the bagged hops in the c02 flushed keg, filter and fill the keg as usual. But I'm definitely keen to here if anyone has a good method of dry hopping.

4 degrees lower I'm assuming? What do you have your temp set to? 8?

Hey guys, My old keezer died and I've just finished setting up my new series 4 with the SS intertap taps. I mounted the gas manifold outside and fed three gas lines through and sealed with blu tack. Seems solid so far and a test pour this morning was good, if not a little fast, but good...

Disappointing. I did a basic American wheat with my smurto chinook hops last year. It wasn't bad by any stretch but in no way on par with the hops I buy. I didn't even harvest/use the flowers this year, I just left them on the bine until they died and dropped off. The savings of a few bucks...

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Ironically said by a yank, Benjamin Franklin
